Mornin' Telekat Well it would help keep it away from around the schools.....although truthfully I was looking schools like Junior High and Elementary schools. Wouldn't work with high Schools as some kids have drivers licenses.

Kids are distracted enough as is.....smoking weed isn't going to help them with wanting to learn and to treat education with Importance for their lives. To many kids today talk about education and accepting the way things are.

Re: Worlds First Cannabis Vending Machine Unveiled in Colorado.....

Cursing, definitely. With the sugar, I'm more on the side of just letting them get Diabetes and then have to pay for their own care; but I could see a ban as well.

Right, lets just ban everything. That will create a utopia in which everyone is moral and everything I don't like just disappears.

Good question. We SHOULD be adults, but I still see children in my age group (I'll be 40 this summer). I see two "adult" women in my fiance's family who are nothing more than children. Zero jobs, 7 kids, and 1 husband among them. There's another sister who's 22 going on 14. No job. No interest in getting out there and doing anything. Not even finding herself a husband to settle down with. She's perfectly fine sitting at home, mooching off her adoptive parents forever.

That would be because people like you alleviate all personal responsibility any given adult has. In your eyes, other people are nothing but children that have to be coddled by the government for the rest of their life. Don't eat junk. If you lose your job, I'll give you money. Don't say "potty words". At this point, I'm not so sure if I even moved out of my parent's house. It seems to me like I just got assigned a new set of parents. Whatever happened to personal responsibility and self-ownership?

Re: Worlds First Cannabis Vending Machine Unveiled in Colorado.....

Perhaps, though I still don't think that will help. Besides, elementary schoolers are not allowed to leave the campus without adult supervision. I think middle schools are like that too.

Yeah, kids probably shouldn't be smoking weed. But instituting a bunch of insane laws and regulations will not help the situation, and will likely just make things worse. What you suggested sounds good on paper, but when instituted it will create messy and unnecessary bureaucracy.

No. It would create a Utopia where people are held accountable for their actions compared to what IS Right rather than what THEY WANT TO BE Right.

We don't allevaite personal responsibility. We're simply reacting to the fact that the vast, extreme super-majority of Americans have proven that they have no willingness or capability of living a properly moral life when left to their own devices. It should be up to society to enforce that morality, but American society no longer even bothers to try to do that. Therefore only the Government is left to fill that void.

When you moved out of your parent's house you should have gotten a new "parent", though the more common title for Him is HUSBAND.

You do, and you are.

People can't run their own life, but they can run the life of others? Makes sense to me.

Mornin' AHS. I can see them going with a Thumb or handprint. Even an Eye Scanner.

Not at all. This would basically be telling people that they can no longer avoid the consequences of ignoring morality. We currently live in a nation where there are few to no actual consequences for immoral acts..... You got pregnant outside of a marriage, get an abortion. You dropped out of school and ended up going to jail, we'll pay to feed and house you. You're too stupid to get a decent paying job, we'll give you free healthcare if you walk into the ER. LET THESE PEOPLE DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR CHOICES!!!!!!! Let the bodies stack up in the streets so the next generation can learn from their mistakes.

Many of us are more than capable of running our own lives. You don't see us because we're not making news demanding for free abortions, increased child care vouchers, and more food stamps. That's why you don't realize how many of us there really are.
